Core Identity packable gilet - EA7 - Blue

This gilet is ideal for milder weather conditions or as a crucial layering piece when temperatures drop further. Its goose down padding provides excellent warmth, but for extreme cold, it's recommended to wear it under a heavy jacket or coat.

First, ensure the gilet is dry and clean. Fold it neatly into a rectangle, then roll it tightly from the bottom hem towards the collar. Gently compress it and slide it into the provided dust bag. This technique helps maximize compression and minimize space.

The gilet is primarily made from 100% Polyamide, which is a durable and lightweight technical fabric. It is filled with goose down for insulation.

Yes, the gilet features two practical side pockets with zip fastenings, ensuring your essentials like keys, phone, or wallet are stored securely during your activities.

Absolutely. Its lightweight and breathable design, combined with goose down warmth, makes it suitable for a range of sports and outdoor activities where you need core insulation without excessive bulk.

Info needed: [Always check the care label inside your specific gilet for precise instructions. Generally, down-filled garments require delicate washing with a special down wash and careful tumble drying with dryer balls to restore loft. Professional cleaning might also be an option.]

The technical fabric provides some inherent resistance to light moisture, but the product description does not specify it as fully waterproof. It's best used in dry conditions or as a warm layer under a dedicated waterproof outer shell during rain.

The elasticated hem is designed to provide a secure and snug fit around your waist. This helps to trap warm air inside the gilet, preventing drafts and maximizing insulation efficiency, especially during movement.

Gently fluff the gilet by hand. If recently washed, tumble dry on a low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps break up down clusters and restore loft.

Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Slowly work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant.

This is common with down-filled garments and usually not a defect. Gently push the feather back into the garment from the inside rather than pulling it out, which can enlarge the hole.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers for the temperature. This gilet is designed as a layering piece or for milder conditions; for extreme cold, layer it under a substantial outer jacket. Check that the elasticated hem is snug to minimize heat loss.
